Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria.
Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?”
He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people.
We will be with you in the war.”
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word.”
